Checking The Wiring
WARNING:
Before fault-tracing can begin, the engine cooling fan (FC) connector must be disconnected to prevent the engine cooling fan (FC) engaging. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-6120 Engine cooling fan (FC) control module may be stored. After fault-tracing the connector must be reconnected.
NOTE:
This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor freezes. This may happen if the coolant level is low or there is too little glycol in the coolant. Check the engine coolant level and its freezing point. Remedy as necessary.
- Ignition off
- Check the ground lead between control module terminal #A60 (#A60) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor terminal #2. Check for an open-circuit
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
